Public administration aims to maintain peace, oversee society, provide checks and balances, manage conflicts between groups, and ensure justice. It can be defined as the management of all affairs in society or the coordination of collective efforts to implement public policies. The scope of public administration can be viewed narrowly within only the administrative branches of government or more broadly as working with all political processes. The key elements of public administration include organization, personnel management, methods and procedures, materials and supply, public finance, and accountability.
